The Deep Yoga Method

WHAT MAKES SHINE DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER STUDIO

The Difference You'll Feel

Every Teacher. Same Method. Your Transformation.

While other studios hire teachers with random training backgrounds, every Shine teacher completes 200+ hours learning the exact same transformative methodology.

This means whether you come to Tuesday's gentle class or Saturday's flow, you're building on consistent, scientific principles—not starting over with each teacher's personal style.

The Method: 4 Pillars in Every Class

  • Anatomical Intelligence

    We understand how bodies work and heal.

    Your teachers know anatomy, biomechanics, and nervous system science.

    They understand why your shoulder hurts and can adapt every pose for your body.

  • Sustainable Practice

    Progressive transformation, not random classes.

    Each class builds on the last. Your teacher remembers your injuries, tracks your progress, and helps you grow safely.

  • Mindful Attention

    Your body leads, not your mind

    Learn to notice what muscles are engaging, what's releasing, what your body actually needs versus what your mind thinks it wants.body.

  • Heart-Centered Teaching

    Safety that allows transformation.

    Small classes.

    Teachers who know your name.

    A Victorian home, not a gym.

    This is yoga as community medicine.

Born from Necessity

A brief origin story

After cancer treatment left me disconnected from my body, the yoga that was available to me wasn't enough.

The Deep Yoga Method emerged from years of study with anatomy experts, trauma specialists, and neuroscientists—plus working with hundreds of students facing illness, loss, and burnout.

Today it's the only methodology taught at Shine, presented at international conferences, and trusted by healthcare providers for their own healing.
